SamsonThere was a time in my life when I devoted my entire body and soul to a man who I thought loved me. I'd spend so many nights at his cozy apartment sleeping with him under his sheets, cradled in his arms that seemed to serve as protection against the dark. Every morning I woke up to cook him breakfast, served him Wonder Bread toasted to his taste. I made him coffee and slipped my love into every grain of sugar that touched the black liquid, and stirred with delicacy and technique. Oh, how foolish I was. My youth was wasted.Samson by ~KonayukiSpirit

Dancing to the tune of the fading light.
The atmosphere began to stretch thin
As they twinkled their delighted grin.
They slept on a dark blanket
Lighting themselves with a tiny matchstick
While they slept on in pleasant peace

And blowing them across the gigantic sea.

It lures me from where I hide, in my world of blending in,
Draws me towards the forbidden fruit that I cannot touch.
Timidly reaching out towards me, like sunlight on a clear day.
Serene as a boat floating down a quiet river
No rush, no sound, just us in a sea-green mirror of star-lit nights.
A colorless world washed in paint from the radiance of it.
Is there, was there, been there, already there, always there.
Shining so bright the Sun becomes jealous in a spurt of angry light rays
Daring you to challenge her in a ra
The Crow's RoseHe fell silently through the tree leaves, his wings trailing behind him, whacking the branches as he went. The night sky was silent, and though the rustling was slight and soft, it was the loudest sound there was at the moment. Underneath the broken bird, squirrels danced away, beetles scurried home. Mice squeaked as they sensed the falling thing and scampered to safety before they could be squashed.The Crow's Rose by ~KonayukiSpirit
Thump.
The bird had fallen, fallen straight into a neat pile of leaves. Nature forbid such neat piles of leaves; it must have been a human who organized the reds, oranges, and browns when they fell from their home, their tree. It reeked of huma

What Is Flash Fiction?
Put simply, flash fiction is a very short story. Lengths can vary from as few as six words (i.e. Hemingway's famous Baby Shoes) to a thousand, sometimes more. It depends largely on the outfit for which the author decides to write a piece of flash fiction. For the
